Requirements to Develop Intel 64 Architecture Applications A PC based on an Intel 64 architecture processor (Intel Pentium 4 processor or later, or compatible non-intel processor) o For the best experience, a multi-core or multi-processor system is recommended. o Incompatible or proprietary instructions in non-intel processors may cause the analysis capabilities of this product to function incorrectly. Any attempt to analyze code not supported by Intel processors may lead to failures in this product. 1GB of RAM (2GB recommended) 4GB free disk space for all features 100 MB of hard disk space for the virtual memory paging file. Be sure to use at least the minimum amount of virtual memory recommended for the installed distribution of Linux One of the following Linux distributions (this is the list of distributions tested by Intel and supported by all components; other distributions may or may not work and are not recommended - please refer to Technical Support if you have questions). Individual components, in particular Intel C++ and Fortran Composer, support additional distributions see the individual component (Amplifier, Composer, Inspector) Release Notes for details. o Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 4 (Update 8), 5 (Updates 4, 5), 6 o SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server* 10, 11 o Fedora* 12, 13 Linux Developer tools component installed, including gcc, g++ and related tools Library libunwind.so is required in order to use the traceback option. Some Linux distributions may require that it be obtained and installed separately. Additional Requirements to use the Graphical User Interface of the Intel Debugger IA-32 Architecture system or Intel 64 Architecture system Java* Runtime Environment (JRE) 5.0 (also called 1.5) or 6.0 (1.6) 5.0 recommended o A 32-bit JRE must be used on an IA-32 architecture system and a 64-bit JRE must be used on an Intel 64 architecture system Notes The Intel compilers are tested with a number of different Linux distributions, with different versions of gcc. Some Linux distributions may contain header files different from those we have tested, which may cause problems. The version of glibc you use must be consistent with the version of gcc in use. For best results, use only the gcc versions as supplied with distributions listed above. The default for the Intel compilers is to build IA-32 architecture applications that require a processor supporting the Intel SSE2 instructions - for example, the Intel Pentium 4 processor. A compiler option is available to generate code that will run on any IA-32 architecture processor. However, if your application uses Intel Integrated Performance Primitives or Intel Threading Building Blocks, executing the application will require a processor supporting the Intel SSE2 instructions. Installation Guide and Release Notes 3
Compiling very large source files (several thousands of lines) using advanced optimizations such as -O3, -ipo and -openmp, may require substantially larger amounts of RAM. The above lists of processor model names are not exhaustive - other processor models correctly supporting the same instruction set as those listed are expected to work. Please refer to Technical Support if you have questions regarding a specific processor model Some optimization options have restrictions regarding the processor type on which the application is run. Please see the documentation of these options for more information. OpenMP* applications to be analyzed by Intel Inspector XE or Intel VTune Amplifier XE must be linked with the compatibility OpenMP library as supplied by an Intel compiler. 1.4 Documentation Product documentation for each component of Intel Parallel Studio XE can be found in the component s folder. Optimization Notice Intel Compiler includes compiler options that optimize for instruction sets that are available in both Intel and non-intel microprocessors (for example SIMD instruction sets), but do not optimize equally for non-intel microprocessors. In addition, certain compiler options for Intel Compiler are reserved for Intel microprocessors. For a detailed description of these compiler options, including the instruction sets they implicate, please refer to "Intel Compiler User and Reference Guides > Compiler Options." Many library routines that are part of Intel Compiler are more highly optimized for Intel microprocessors than for other microprocessors. While the compilers and libraries in Intel Compiler offer optimizations for both Intel and Intel-compatible microprocessors, depending on the options you select, your code and other factors, you likely will get extra performance on Intel microprocessors. While the paragraph above describes the basic optimization approach for Intel Compiler, with respect to Intel's compilers and associated libraries as a whole, Intel Compiler may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (Intel SSE2), Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel SSE3), and Supplemental Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (Intel SSSE3) instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Intel recommends that you evaluate other compilers to determine which best meet your requirements. Installation Guide and Release Notes 4

If you are evaluating the product, you can also choose the Evaluate this product (no serial number required) option during installation If you received your product on DVD, mount the DVD, change the directory (cd) to the toplevel directory of the mounted DVD and begin the installation using the command:./install.sh If you received the product as a downloadable file, first unpack it into a writeable directory of your choice using the command: tar xzvf name-of-downloaded-file Then change the directory (cd) to the directory containing the unpacked files and begin the installation using the command:./install.sh Follow the prompts to complete installation. Note that there are several different downloadable files available, each providing different combinations of components. Please read the download web page carefully to determine which file is appropriate for you. You do not need to uninstall previous versions or updates before installing a newer version the new version will coexist with the older versions. 2.1.1 Activation of Purchase after Evaluation Using the Intel Activation Tool Note for evaluation customers: a new tool Intel Activation Tool Activate is included in this product release and installed at /opt/intel/activationtool/activation/ directory. If you installed the product using an Evaluation license or Serial Number (SN), or using the Evaluate this product (no serial number required) option during installation, and then Installation Guide and Release Notes 5
purchased the product, you can activate your purchase using the Intel Activation Tool at /opt/intel/activationtool/activation/activate. It will convert your evaluation software to a fully licensed product. To use the tool: $ /opt/intel/activationtool/activation/activate [SN_here] 2.1.2 Using a License Server If you have purchased a floating license, see http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/licensingsetting-up-the-client-floating-license/ for information on how to install using a license file or license server. This article also provides a source for the Intel License Server that can be installed on any of a wide variety of systems. 2.1.3 Known Installation Issues If you have enabled the Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) feature of your Linux distribution, you must change the SELINUX mode to permissive before installing the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2011. Please see the documentation for your Linux distribution for details. After installation is complete, you may reset the SELINUX mode to its previous value. On some versions of Linux, auto-mounted devices do not have the "exec" permission and therefore running the installation script directly from the DVD will result in an error such as: bash:./install.sh: /bin/bash: bad interpreter: Permission denied If you see this error, remount the DVD with exec permission, for example: mount /media/<dvd_label> -o remount,exec and then try the installation again. The product is fully supported on Ubuntu and Debian Linux distributions for IA-32 and Intel 64 architecture systems as noted above under System Requirements. Due to a restriction in the licensing software, however, it is not possible to use the Trial License feature when evaluating IA-32 components on an Intel 64 architecture system under Ubuntu or Debian. This affects using a Trial License only. Use of serial numbers, license files, floating licenses or other license manager operations, and off-line activation (with serial numbers) is not affected. If you need to evaluate IA-32 components of the product on an Intel 64 architecture Ubuntu or Debian system, please visit the Intel Software Evaluation Center (http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/download/eval/) to obtain an evaluation serial number. 3 Disclaimer and Legal Information INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH INTEL(R) PRODUCTS.
